Not to my liking. Looks like a portable toilet block.
If you set this up in a camping area, you'd have people queing outside with newspaper in hand.

Brings up memories of the Aero Caravan.

That's just unpleasant to behold, even if it can be home-built easily.
Nothing like as pleasant to look at as the Aero.

What do you think of the "flat pack" option?

I don't mind the response.  I find it interesting that the appearance is so important to people. 8)

The construction method is what interested me.

In part then there is no doubt that this and many products design and ease of use can be the main game, if however the product is not seen as 'liked, or would I want to own this', then poor design could also be it's downfall.

We have come to expect that function and form are related.
We've been taught this over a long period of time.
People are usually very much of a herd  mentality.
They don't spend much time thinking about stuff when in a hurry.
Specially when in a hurry to go.  They just wanna get the job done.

Just an observation, there are exceptional people too. OK.

Although I don't find them aesthetically pleasing I think we will see a lot more products of all types rolled out in this modular format. Id also add for the claimed weight it would offer an alternative for families with standard vehicles that wish for a caravan style camper but do not wish to purchase a bigger vehicle.

Just my 2 cents.

You might need more than 2cents, I reckon it'll be at least a gold coin per flush:-)



But hey I'm sure someone will buy them.
